Bad Bunny and Tainy were among artists with four nominations while Rauw Alejandro, J Balvin, Jhay Cortez, Juanes, and Myke Towers received three.

During the pandemic, the 2020 show featured taped performances from around the globe, but this year it returns to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and will air live on Univision on 18 November (21).
In June, Panamanian musician Ruben Blades was announced as a recipient for Person of the Year honor by the Latin Recording Academy. He will be lauded at a ceremony taking place a day before the main event.
Last year, the Person of the Year award was ditched by the organizers due to pandemic.
